The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/24/23

A couple of things. First, I have not properly given a shoutout to Tubi, which is now offering a select number of titles with audio description. This is their first month, and they already have surpassed AMC Plus. Hah. I do plan on watching something from them soonish to support their new offerings, and give a review on how easy it is to access it. You can find a list of titles where you can find all the lists of titles for all the streaming services. The Audio Description project: adp.acb.org Second, congrats to Bupkus on a second season renewal. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/24/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/15/23

In the slow world of TV news, networks are starting to assume that they won’t have scripted programs for the Fall, and are once again leaning on reality series. NBC just ordered a new Wild Kingdom show for the fall. So instead of watching the OneChicago lineup, you get the same thing you’d get with any other nature documentary. 12) Trophy Wife (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended This one is tough, because I basically enjoyed everything I watched yesterday. Trophy Wife doesn’t have audio description,and some of the moments were a bit cringe. The kids were working on … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/15/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/11/23

First, shoutout to Alex Newell who became the second alumni of The Glee Project to win a Tony Award. Who’s next? Also, as this is June 12th, i must start off todays roundup by dedicating this in the memory of the 49 lives lost while dancing at the Pulse nightclub in my city. #OnePulse 11) City On fire (Apple plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed I really just didn’t think this was a good pilot. in terms of structure, and getting the audience invested in the characters and story, i don’t think it achieved any of that. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/11/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/04/23

I’m not sure there’s a ton of TV news, aside from the fact that the DGA signed a new contract, leaving the WGA and SAG as being the two still left. But, I did watch a ton of pilot episodes yesterday. 16) Clone high (MAX) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revived Still trying to get through the original Clone High. I think I finally am hearing Will forte’s voice. This episode dealt with getting a diagnoses of ADD. Maybe this would be funnier with audio description. Episode Grade: B- 15) 8 Simple Rules (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/04/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/31/23

Lots of interesting TV news. Danny Masterson clearly will not be appearing on That 90’s Show ever. Kim Cattral will be returning to And Just Like That next season. Oh, and it’s technically June 1st, so Happy Pride Month! 12) Fatal Attraction (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed I think this just fell on bottom due to several things. First, I’m not a big fan of the monotone narration. Not that there’s the best way to describe when a man enters a woman and starts thrusting, but there’s something just so lifeless about how those scenes … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/31/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/29/23

I watched way too much TV yesterday. i know a lot of these are half hours, but even for me. My God. Wow. 16) Saint X (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed You know, this was one of the first things I watched, and I can’t remember anything about it. It’s the second episode, and I remember there’s a mystery around a murdered girl, and the show is on an island. I got very little beyond that. It wasn’t bad enough for me to remember hating it, it’s just mediocre enough for me to not care. Episode … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/29/23
